Description

The Arista QSFP-40G-ER4 is a 40GBASE-ER4 QSFP+ optical transceiver designed for extended-reach single-mode fibre deployments up to 40km. It uses four CWDM channels at wavelengths 1271, 1291, 1311, and 1331nm multiplexed over duplex LC connectors, ideal for metro area networks and long-haul data centre interconnects. Compliant with IEEE 802.3ba and QSFP+ MSA standards, this hot-swappable module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for real-time performance tracking.

FAQs

Q: What is the maximum transmission distance for this transceiver?
A: The QSFP-40G-ER4 supports transmission distances up to 40km over OS2 single-mode fibre, making it suitable for metro and long-haul network applications.

Q: Is this module compatible with other vendors' equipment?
A: While designed for Arista platforms, this transceiver follows IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-ER4 standards and should be optically interoperable with compliant equipment from other vendors. Always verify compatibility with your specific hardware before deployment.

Q: What type of fibre cable is required?
A: This transceiver requires duplex single-mode fibre (SMF) OS2 cable with LC connectors. It uses four CWDM wavelengths multiplexed over a single fibre pair.

Q: Does this module support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring?
A: Yes, DDM/DOM is supported, enabling real-time monitoring of critical operating parameters including optical transmit and receive power, temperature, voltage, and transmit bias current.

Q: What is the difference between ER4 and LR4 transceivers?
A: ER4 (Extended Reach) modules support up to 40km transmission, while LR4 (Long Reach) modules typically support up to 10km. ER4 transceivers are designed for longer-distance metro and regional network deployments.
